Dua Lipa pairs Bulgari and vintage gold-tone jewelry in Palermo

Dua Lipa turned her Palermo wedding celebrations into a study in bridal layering, moving from Bulgari jewelry with a white leather woven Bottega Veneta dress to a custom Chloé gown finished with two necklaces in fluorite and vintage gold-tone brass. The effect was less traditional ceremony dressing than destination glamour: polished, sensual, and built around gold.

The look unfolded across a three-day celebration in Sicily that ran from June 5 to June 7, 2026, after Dua Lipa and Callum Turner’s intimate civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London on May 31, 2026. Palermo became the stage for a pre-wedding party, a lavish outdoor ceremony at Villa Valguarnera, and a street-party-style celebration in Croce dei Vespri square, where the atmosphere reportedly nodded to the novel the couple was reading when they met. With the wedding cost placed at about $1.7 million, every styling choice carried the weight of a major public moment.

The strongest jewelry takeaway was not excess, but texture. The Chloé gown brought a different kind of bridal shine: delicate floral lace, a plunging neckline, lace buttons, flowing sleeves, drawstring ties finished with gold-tone accents, and a sheer silhouette that let the jewelry do some of the work. Rather than defaulting to a heavy diamond suite, the final styling leaned into gold-tone brass and a more eclectic, personal mix of materials that felt at home in Palermo’s sunlit settings.

That shift matters because it shows how high-profile bridal dressing is moving beyond a single ceremony look. Dua Lipa’s proposal ring, a bold chunky gold band set with a prominent round-cut diamond, already signaled a taste for substantial gold over dainty sentimentality. In Palermo, the styling extended that idea into a full wedding-weekend wardrobe: heritage-name polish from Bulgari and Bottega Veneta on one side, then a softer, more bohemian Chloé moment on the other, anchored by gold-tone details that kept the whole story cohesive.
